Description I've finally finished building my 3rd camera, it took a while to start, but didn't take too long to finish in the end. I think it's been about 2 weeks..

Like the others it has full movements, but it also has the focal plane shutter of an old speed graphic on the front which will let me use older brass/barrel lenses.

you can see more photos in stash sta.sh/215pf2wwe6tb

now for the name..
suggestions on a postcard

this is great! I've ever wanted to build my own, but I don't think to be able to do it.
Many compliments for your hard work!

thanks.
It's easier than you'd think, the hardest part is just starting then it all just follows from there

it's more a mental exercise than technical.
You just decide to do it and then you'll be surprised how little technical skill it takes

my knowledge of latin sucks, but I looked this one up: how about "grandiflorum"?

easy to remember, it's big and flowery
